Designing a Patio for Your Atlanta Home
The warm weather has everyone thinking about how they can incorporate a fabulous patio into their Atlanta backyard. And the most important step occurs right at the beginning. Don’t overlook some of these important details when creating the patio of your dreams.
• Begin by deciding when you will be using the space and what you want out of it. Spring in Atlanta means pollen so enclosing your patio with soft vinyl windows allows you to enjoy it without the mess. When does it get full sun exposure? The design will need to be altered if the answer is late afternoon/early evening and you do a great deal of entertaining during that time.
• Perhaps you aren’t sure about whether you want or need a covered patio. Give some thought to a retractable awning. This gives you the best of both worlds. It doesn’t obstruct your view and can easily and quickly be rolled out when those spring showers begin.
• Is there an existing foundation already in place? Maybe you already have a deck or concrete slab to begin with. But if not, don’t discount using materials like brick pavers or flagstone slabs for a unique and stylish look. Just remember grading will have to be done along with a couple loads of sand or filler brought in for proper drainage.
